This is the true story of Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan from being a self-taught prodigy in colonial India to a revolutionary scholar at Cambridge University. The non-conformity of his mathematical approach had won the heart of great mathematician G.H. Hardy and had allowed him to surpass conventional norms. It was with a lot of struggle against cultural and racial prejudices that he produced incredible contributions in the field of number theory. The Man Who Knew Infinity is a tribute to the genius of Ramanujan and the transformative power of mathematics.
